Carpenter pitched a gem only to be let down by an offense that had runners in scoring position all night long, which included 9 walks by Ranger pitchers. Wilson pulled a Houdini act tonight. It's pretty obvious Wilson's arm is tired and about to fall off. Credit to him for battling.

Not sure why LaRussa used a lefty against the hottest hitter in baseball since the All Star break. Pretty effin stupid. Game on the line - LaRussa went with his 4th best pitcher out of the pen to face Napoli.

I think next year you may want to change this rule on posting when you get to the World Series games. It changes it from a pool to a "who can post last after seeing whatever everyone else takes". It's like Final Jeopardy, yet you get to see hwat the other guys answer and how much they bet on that answer. Actually takes all of the thrill out of it in my opinion. Maybe do the last round via email andthen you post them all at game time, or even after gametime, I am sure everyone here trusts you

Swerb - I will send my remaining picks to you via private message, BEFORE the game starts.....that should eliminate the nonsense.

Not buying LaRussa's lame story about the bullpen mixup. We can communicate to astronauts in space, but the Cardinals couldn't in a World Series game. Man up and tell us what really took place. Did anyone ask him why Allen Craig is trying to steal a base with one of the greatest hitters at the plate....not once but twice.

I agree 100%. The only problem is the times I'm not around a computer when the game starts. It's obviously vital for the other players to know all wagers as soon as the game starts. On days where I'm not around a computer, I can just find a backup to have people PM picks to.

For the remaining games, players, feel free to PM me your picks if you want. Same timestamping rules on picks apply. I will paste the picks, with the PM timestamp, in this thread once the game starts.

I will be home Wedns and Thurs night at 8:05 PM to post picks for game six and potentially game seven.

Kudos to Tappi & Swerb for the late adjustment.

Swerb - I don't think the players will mind if you are away from the computer and the picks are posted later than the start of the game.

Big shout out to Fight Dr. who just 5 days ago had $333 and was all in on the Rangers. Incredible run to the top. Good luck!

So now we are changing the rules with 2 games left?They should have to be posted on here like it's been the entire way.Honestly, the way I got back into this was because I did the opposite of what others were doing.

Because Albert put the hit and run sign on, according to Tony and Craig. Wonder why he took the pitch though?

That makes sense then. A runner on 1st base with Pujols up is basically already in scoring position with his ability to drive the ball into the gaps. Just hard to imagine considering how clutch Pujols has been.

I know you didn't win, but congrats on a hell of a comeback....I was pulling for you. Hard to believe Feliz couldn't close the door. The pitch to Freese was actually a good pitch on the outer half of the strike zone, down at the knees. Credit to Freese for going with the pitch.
